Flips!

After visiting a children's boutique near my house I decided to try the flips diapers. They were very trim looking and looked easy to use! I bought the "day pack" which was 2 covers and 6 inserts. Plus a pack of disposable inserts. I have been using the disposable inserts while I prep my stay dry inserts and I love them already! QUESTION- when prepping the insert should you use detergent? Or just wash, dry, wash, dry etc without detergent?

If it's the microfiber inserts I just wash once with soap. If it's the organic insert it requires more washes, but each time I'll add a tiny bit of soap. And use hot hot water. I will even soak in near-boiling water with laundry soap or blue dawn sometimes.

I'm a FTM and I was looking into getting flips but was nervous b/c I saw some complaints that the inserts move around. Do you have issues with this so far? I like the idea of the Flip and really want to try it, but I've read for newborns it's best to use a prefold with the flip cover to contain EBF poop since it's watery. What do you think now that you've used them?

My DD had a HUGE EBF watery poop yesterday! Not one dropped leaked. I just make sure to pinch the top of the diaper and the insert together while I am positioning it on my baby. That way it doesn't slide down. Once it's on it wasn't moving around. Grovia is a similar system to flips but the insert snaps in place. That would prevent the shifting you're worried about. I have some of those on order and they should be here in the next day or two.
